Brushy Creek Post Acute: CPR Failure, Immediate Jeopardy - SC
Immediate jeopardy means inspectors determined the failure had placed residents in serious risk of harm, injury, or death. The citation affected a small number of residents.
The problems ran deeper than staff training alone. The Director of Nursing, responding to the findings, launched an audit of code status accuracy and advance directives across all resident care plans. Code status determines what emergency interventions a resident wants if their heart stops or they stop breathing. An inaccurate code status means staff could perform CPR on a resident who had explicitly refused it, or stand back from a resident who wanted every measure taken.
The facility's own corrective plan acknowledged both failures together: staff who didn't know what to do in a cardiac emergency, and care plans that may not have accurately reflected what residents had asked for.
Under the plan the facility submitted, any staff member who had not completed Code Blue education by the end of the designated day would be barred from working until they finished it. That applied to agency staff as well.
The care plan audits were set to run weekly for four weeks, then monthly for two months.
The inspection was conducted as a complaint survey on December 23, 2025. The facility submitted an allegation of compliance, a formal claim that it had corrected the violations, though federal regulators had not yet confirmed that finding as of the inspection record reviewed.
What the record does not show is whether any resident, in the gap between when the failures began and when inspectors arrived, received emergency care that conflicted with what they had asked for.
